City of Moreno Valley Accepting Applications for
Community Development Block Grants and Emergency Solutions Grants Program Funding as Part of the Federal CARES Act Applications from 501 (c)(3) Non-profits and
Government Entities Only

Starting April 30 and running through May 29, the City of Moreno Valley will accept applications for almost $1.2 million in federal Community Development Block Grants Coronavirus (CDBG-CV) and another $631,000 in Emergency Solutions Grants Program Coronavirus (ESG-CV) funding by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act).

The purpose of CDBG-CV funds is to respond to the coronavirus pandemic as it affects low- to moderate-income residents. ESG-CV funds are intended to help residents who are homeless and to support homeless assistance and prevention activities to mitigate the economic effects of coronavirus. The grant funds supplement the operational budgets of non-profit organizations and government agencies only.

“We are fortunate to have some wonderful non-profit and government organizations doing really creative and helpful work for residents who are low-income or homeless in our community,” explained Dr. Yxstian Gutierrez, Mayor of Moreno Valley. “And the work that these grant funds will support has never been as needed as they are right now.”

Applications will only be accepted from 501 (c)(3) non-profit organizations and government entities. Individuals are not eligible under the federal guidelines to apply and directly receive this funding.

Questions may be directed to the Financial Operations Division at 951-413-3450, or grantsadmin@moval.org.
